This PR replaces our `console.log` with `nicelog` so that I can more
easily grep for errant console.logs.
### Change Type
- [x] `internal` — Any other changes that don't affect the published
package (will not publish a new version)
This PR updates our user-facing APIs for the Tldraw and TldrawEditor
components, as well as the Editor (App). It mainly incorporates surface
changes from #1450 without any changes to validators or migrators,
incorporating feedback / discussion with @SomeHats and @ds300.
Here we:
- remove the TldrawEditorConfig
- bring back a loose version of shape definitions
- make a separation between "core" shapes and "default" shapes
- do not allow custom shapes, migrators or validators to overwrite core
shapes
- but _do_ allow new shapes
## `<Tldraw>` component
In this PR, the `Tldraw` component wraps both the `TldrawEditor`
component and our `TldrawUi` component. It accepts a union of props for
both components. Previously, this component also added local syncing via
a `useLocalSyncClient` hook call, however that has been pushed down to
the `TldrawEditor` component.
## `<TldrawEditor>` component
The `TldrawEditor` component now more neatly wraps up the different ways
that the editor can be configured.
## The store prop (`TldrawEditorProps.store`)
There are three main ways for the `TldrawEditor` component to be run:
1. with an externally defined store
2. with an externally defined syncing store (local or remote)
3. with an internally defined store
4. with an internally defined locally syncing store
The `store` prop allows for these configurations.
If the `store` prop is defined, it may be defined either as a `TLStore`
or as a `SyncedStore`. If the store is a `TLStore`, then the Editor will
assume that the store is ready to go; if it is defined as a SyncedStore,
then the component will display the loading / error screens as needed,
or the final editor once the store's status is "synced".
When the store is left undefined, then the `TldrawEditor` will create
its own internal store using the optional `instanceId`, `initialData`,
or `shapes` props to define the store / store schema.
If the `persistenceKey` prop is left undefined, then the store will not
be synced. If the `persistenceKey` is defined, then the store will be
synced locally. In the future, we may also here accept the API key /
roomId / etc for creating a remotely synced store.
The `SyncedStore` type has been expanded to also include types used for
remote syncing, e.g. with `ConnectionStatus`.
## Tools
By default, the App has two "baked-in" tools: the select tool and the
zoom tool. These cannot (for now) be replaced or removed. The default
tools are used by default, but may be replaced by other tools if
provided.
## Shapes
By default, the App has a set of "core" shapes:
- group
- embed
- bookmark
- image
- video
- text
That cannot by overwritten because they're created by the app at
different moments, such as when double clicking on the canvas or via a
copy and paste event. In follow up PRs, we'll split these out so that
users can replace parts of the code where these shapes are created.
### Change Type
- [x] `major` — Breaking Change

- [x] Unit Tests
This diff modifies our canvas/rendering code to support shapes rendering
into a "background layer". The background layer isn't a layer in the
sense of our own html/svg/indicator layers, but is instead part of the
HTML canvas layer and is created by allocating z-indexes to shapes below
all others.
For most shapes, the background starts at the canvas. If a shape is in a
frame, then the frame is treated as the background.

Exports now use the `renderingShapes` algorithm which fixed a small bug
with exports where opacity wouldn't get correctly propagated down
through child shapes.

This diff adds an initial version of the highlighter shape. At this
stage, it's a complete copy of the draw tool minus the following
features:
* Fills
* Stroke types
* Closed shapes
I've created a new shape util (a copy-paste of the draw one with stuff
renamed/deleted) but reused the state chart nodes for the draw shape.
Currently this new tool looks exactly like the draw tool, but that'll be
changing soon!

The UI here is extremely WIP. The highlighter tool is behind a feature
flag, but once enabled is accessible through the tool bar. There's a
first-draft highlighter icon (i didn't spend much time on this, it's not
super legible on non-retina displays yet imo), and the tool is bound to
the `i` key (any better suggestions? `h` is taken by the hand tool)

This PR adds a user preference to reduce motion. When enabled the app
will not animate the camera (and perhaps skip other animations in the
future). It's actual implementation is as an `animateSpeed` property, so
we can also use it to speed up or slow down our animations if that's
something we want to do!

This PR replaces our webdriver end to end tests with playwright tests.
It:
- replaces our webdriver workflow with a new e2e workflow based on
playwright
- removes the webdriver project
- adds e2e tests to our examples app
- replaces all `data-wd` attributes with `data-testid`
### Coverage
Most of the tests from our previous e2e tests are reproduced here,
though there are some related to our gestures that will need to be done
in a different way—or not at all. I've also added a handful of new
tests, too.
### Where are they
The tests are now part of our examples app rather than being in its own
different app. This should help us test our different examples too. As
far as I can tell there are no downsides here in terms of the regular
developer experience, though they might complicate any CodeSandbox
projects that are hooked into the examples app.
### Change Type
- [x] `tests` — Changes to any testing-related code only (will not
publish a new version)
As part of my highlighter work, I've been writing a few test cases
around rendering with different combinations of nested frames and
groups. Writing these test cases using `createShapes` is really hard,
and reading them is even harder. I wanted to see if there was an easier
way for us to define shapes for test cases, and turns out... there is!
This diff introduces a JSX-based DSL for defining test cases. It looks
something like this:
```tsx
// create some shapes
const ids = app.createShapesFromJsx([
<TL.geo ref="A" x={100} y={100} w={100} h={100} />,
<TL.frame ref="B" x={200} y={200} w={300} h={300}>
<TL.geo ref="C" x={200} y={200} w={50} h={50} />
<TL.text ref="D" x={1000} y={1000} text="Hello, world!" align="end" />
</TL.frame>,
])
// refer to shape IDs according to their `ref`
app.select(ids.C)
```
It's probably not worth trying to migrate everything possible to this,
but i picked a few random tests to convert over to show how it works
(and because i wanted this diff to end up red overall)
In the future, I'd like to use this with visual regression testing to
test rendering/exports on some complex combinations of shapes too.
### Change Type

### Release Notes
[internal only change]
This diff tweaks our `debugFlags` framework to support setting different
default value for different environments, makes it easier to define
feature flags, and makes feature flags show up in the debug menu by
default. With this change, feature flags will default to being enabled
in dev and preview environments, but disabled in production.
Specify a feature flag like this:
```ts
const featureFlags = {
myCoolNewFeature: createFeatureFlag('myCoolNewFeature')
}
```
optionally, pass a second value to control its defaults:
```ts
const featureFlags = {
featureEnabledInProduction: createFeatureFlag('someFeature', { all: true }),
customEnabled: createFeatureFlag('otherFeature', {development: true, staging: false, production: false}),
}
```
In code, the value can be read using `featureFlags.myFeature.value`.
Remember to wrap reading it in a reactive context!

This PR stops collaborator cursors wobbling while viewport-following.
It's a **new wobble** that we haven't seen before! (It crept in at some
point)
It happens when these three things happen at the same time:
* You're following someone
* They're panning
* They're not moving their pointer
eg: This happens when they're trackpad-panning.
So this is *not* the **old wobble** that we fixed before! That one is
still fixed.

The **new wobble** looks like this:

It's sometimes hard-to-spot because of the _smoothing_ that we do.
When we drastically increase the strength of smoothing... the **new
wobble** is less noticeable:

But we can do better!
So for demonstration purposes... let's turn off _smoothing_ to let us
see the **new wobble** more clearly.

Now we can clearly see what's going on...
The cursor is updating every animation **frame**.
The camera is updating every **tick**.
Depending on your screen's refresh rate, these _might be different_!
Let's test that theory by throttling the **tick** further.
As expected, it increases the **new wobble**:

Let's test the theory again by trying on a screen where the _tick_ and
_frame_ are in sync.
As expected, the **new wobble** doesn't happen _most of the time_.
However, _frame_ and _tick_ can still get out of sync! Which causes the
occasional wobble:

Instead of making the following-camera update every _tick_...
Let's make it update every _frame_!

The perceptive among you might notice a slight wobble that's still
there...
This is an entirely **different wobble** caused by different things.
We can get to it in the future! But we're back at our original
wobble-quota for now.

This diff fixes a number of issues with text export by completely
overhauling how we approach laying out text in exports.
Currently, we try to carefully replicate in-browser behaviour around
line breaks and whitespace collapsing. We do this using an iterative
algorithm that forces the browser to perform a layout for each word, and
attempting to re-implement how the browser does things like whitespace
collapsing & finding line break opportunities. Lots of export issues
come from the fact that this is almost impossible to do well (short of
sending a complete text layout algorithm & full unicode lookup tables).
Luckily, the browser already has a complete text layout algorithm and
full unicode lookup tables! In the new approach, we ask the browser to
lay the text out once. Then, we use the
[`Range`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Range) API to
loop over every character in the rendered text and measure its position.
These character positions are then grouped into "spans". A span is a
contiguous range of either whitespace or non-whitespace characters,
uninterrupted by any browser-inserting line breaks. When we come to
render the SVG, each span gets its own `<tspan>` element, absolutely
positioned according to where it ended up in the user's browser.
This fixes a bunch of issues:
**Misaligned text due to whitespace collapsing at line breaks**

#### Quick note on browser compatibility
This approach works well across all browsers, but in some cases actually
_increases_ x-browser variance. Consider these screenshots of the same
element (original above, export below):

Notice how on chrome, the whitespace at the end of each line of
right-aligned text is preserved. On safari, it's collapsed. The safari
option looks better - so our manual line-breaking/white-space-collapsing
algorithm preferred safari's approach. That meant that in-app, this
shape looks very slightly different from browser to browser. But out of
the app, the exports would have been the same (although also note that
hyphenation is broken). Now, because these shapes look different across
browsers, the exports now look different across browsers too. We're
relying on the host-browsers text layout algorithm, which means we'll
faithfully reproduce any quirks/inconsistencies of that algorithm. I
think this is an acceptable tradeoff.
### Change Type
- [x] `patch` — Bug Fix
### Test Plan
* Comprehensive testing of text in exports, paying close attention to
details around white-space, line-breaking and alignment
* Consider setting `tldrawDebugSvg = true`
* Check text shapes, geo shapes with labels, arrow shapes with labels,
note shapes, frame labels
* Check different alignments and fonts (including vertical alignment)
### Release Notes

Bump vs code version. I build the extension from the
`release-2023-05-16` branch, but didn't push the changes there as we
never pull them back to main. So I'm making this change here.
### Change Type
- [x] `patch` — Bug Fix
This PR makes it so that horizontal alignment in geo and sticky note
shapes also effects the position of the text within the shape.

This PR also places the shape's label at the center when there is no
text and the shape is not editing.
### Change Type
- [x] `minor` — New Feature
### Test Plan
1. Create shapes with labels
2. Confirm that their labels are positioned correctly
3. Export the shapes and verify the export
### Release Notes
- Geo shapes and sticky notes now position their labels based on their
alignment.
This PR adds a laser pointer. It's also available in readonly rooms.
